Tatler Restaurant Guide 2016

Berber & Q

Under the railway arches in Haggerston, restaurants come thick and
fast - and Josh Katz's no-phone, no-reservations resto is one of
the very best. It does half a dozen mezze, including dirty fried
mejadrah (rice and lentils) with onions and barberries, homemade
Turkish sausage, smoked short rib in date-syrup glaze (divine) and,
for weekend brunch, a punchy green shakshuka or a flavour-packed
Israeli breakfast. With clever, crazy cocktails and beer from the
Crate brewery - try the house golden Our- Brew ale, made with sumac
and orange - you won't go thirsty either.
